My brother, I work in a kitchen. The people there do, (and have) told their fellow workers when they smell. Either when they don't shower enough, or when they use too much deodorant.

Netflix's Explained series actually does a deep dive into this on the "Your Skin" episode. Since watching the episode, I also do not use soap at all and use deodorant. The episode goes on to explain that body wash and body soap is not something doctor recommended or dermatologist recommended at all and not needed. In fact, the episode explains how soap might be doing more damage to certain skin types because it fucks with your microbiome and soap indiscriminately kills both the bad bacteria but also kills the good bacteria which typically eat the odor causing excrement from the bad bacteria on your skin. The only place recommended to wash with soap and water is your hands.

I'm also not labeled stinky or smelly either, circa the coworkers, girlfriends (including current), and other people I know. I shower after I sweat or workout, and I shower every day with only water by using an abrasive cloth to remove my old skin. On my face I use a BHA, Bio Oil, and Lotion for my face routine after scrubbing to open my pours with hot water with a microfiber cloth.

It's what works for me and I don't break out in acne or bumps or anything because my skin feels wonderfully balanced and healthy.
